input fields

[elizabeth_j_zeh]

What about adding input fields to the dashboard widgets. Kind of like the text field but it is enabled for user input. This input field can be used in new column and new measure fields so that once the dashboard is set up the user can easily (without filtering) explore the data by entering different values such as if you had an input box for unit price. Then if you change it all the charts of total sales, revenue, etc. Will update to reflect what would happen if you increase the price by 10%. This will enable people to quickly and easily interrogate the data

I need!

For me this is the biggest missing feature compared to the current market leader in BI-tooling. I would love to be able to make variables for end users so that they can change the visual based on (for example) boundaries that are renewed each year.

under review since 2015 come on ( any update ??? )

This is an important feature. We would be able to run different scenarios. For example, users could enter different costs, margins or prices that would then be used in measures and calculate to see different scenario results for planning or project analysis purposes. This capability has been in QlikView for years and works awesome.

Would be very helpful, especially so users could enter a value that could then be called in custom R visuals and models.

This would be hugely valuable

[onno_dijt1]

Combining this with R models would be the optimal implementation of this feature.

What's the point of voting if no updates are provided

Buttons too for more interactivity!

what is the workaround for the same? I want to generate report based on the date. User will enter the date and data change accordingly.
